REGRET RADAR

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra: is it worth it long term?

Samsung's 14.6-inch flagship Android tablet with an AMOLED screen, a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chip and an S Pen in the box. Owners keep praising the screen, pen and speed months in, but its sheer size, slow charging and a weak case for upgrading from the Tab S9 Ultra temper the long-term picture.
